We got a bunch of mini pumpkins to decorate our home for Halloween. They are super cute, or at least they were for about a day.

Our oldest son used a steak knife to carve a face into his pumpkin, which he put in his room. That rotted pretty much overnight. The other pumpkins were left outside. I figured the cold would preserve them until Halloween. But then it snowed, and the pumpkins froze. Which would have been okay, except then they thawed… and the outside pumpkins rotted just like the indoor pumpkin. I can’t win! Next year I’m not buying pumpkins until October 29th. Laramie’s October weather is just too unpredictable.
